Wed Jan 13 14:07:34 UTC 2010

Hello everyone,
I haven't gone through all the responses re Info Vis resources (so there may be some redundancy in the following), but here are more places to explore for texts and visuals:

Martin Dodge, Atlas of Cyberspaces (still a good survey of work):
http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/m.dodge/cybergeography/atlas/atlas.html
http://www.kitchin.org/atlas/

Victoria Vesna, Database Aesthetics
http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/V/vesna_database.html

InfoVis
http://www.infovis.org/

Martin Wattenberg's lab at IBM (poke around for publications etc.:)
http://www.research.ibm.com/visual/projects.html

All best,
C.

Hi Lilly,

You might look at some of the stuff on TacticalTech.org, in
particularly the nifty handbook they've created:
http://www.tacticaltech.org/infodesign

I'd also take a look at Rita Raley's book on Tactical Media (I imagine
you've already picked her brain).  But if you haven't read her book...
 it is a fine accomplishment and well worth the time.

Again, if you haven't already, take a look at some of the stuff on Lev
Manovich's page: http://www.manovich.net/culturevis_resources.html

You also do well to look at some of the work that Jeremy Douglass is
doing (in this case, with Manovich):

One excellent book is Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin, Atlas of Cyberspace - 
2001, but absolutely amazing. Dodge has charged the Net for years and 
years.
